You will also have to have the proper entries in your .muttrc file. Google up "mutt, pop support". There are all kinds of websites out there that detail the setup. You might wish to consider using IMAP instead. This protocol keeps the message on the server where you can access it again from, say, the computer at the public library. POP3 will also allow this, but it is not the default behavior in most cases. Good luck in training your Mutt. It can be challenging, but is usually worth the effort, even if, as in my case, you don't always use it. Dale
